Winner of the 2012 RFI - France 24 Discoveries Award. Namibian-born Elemotho presents a remarkable album of original songs, sung in his native tongue, Setswana, English and other Namibian languages. His music (guitars, bass, drums, flute, percussion, vocals) has a touch of rhythms from the Kalahari Desert, mixed with ethnic and global sounds, the 'calling of the rain' combined with emphatic messages for our modern times.

Cascading and soothing, almost hypnotic sounds of the kora, solo, and also accompanied by other African instruments (djembe, balafon, bells…).
"… should be of great interest to those of you with a liking for new timbres. Highly recommended."
